Sire L7 - Les Paul - PRS 535 Comparison

Sire L7 compared to Gibson Les Paul and PRS McCarty 535.
Clean amp - Dr. Z EZG-50 into a Dr. Z 1x12 cab (closed back) with a Marshall branded Celestion V30 speaker. Mci'd with a SE Electronics X1R mic from about 8" away.
Distorted amp - DR. Z CAZ-45 into a 4x12 in the room, but the mic'd sound is coming from a Neve DI from the speaker out to an IR in a Universal Audio Apollo interface.
Both amps were set lower than what would work with a medium loud live drummer.
Guitars:
Sire L7 (2019?) with Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special pickups
Gibson Les Paul Standard (2005) with Throbak SLE-101 plus pickups and 50's wiring harness.
Gibson Les Paul Custom (2019) stock Gibson 490R/498t pickups.
PRS 535 (2018) stock.

    Very, very interesting, thanks. That's what I call a comprehensive sound comparison! Love the Sire L7, but ooh, I don't know if I can cope with its 9lbs of weight! To me the LP Standard sounded best; I thought the very last strumming pattern in the video revealed the difference in price bracket, the Sire's section sounding a bit, er, 'cheap' - or would it have fared better with its original pickups??

    It sounds better with the original pickups. I did another video like this a few months ago and I think the sire sounds better there. The weight - I'm pushing 60 and the weight hasn't bothered me all these years. It's really not that bad, just have a decent strap. And thanks!

    So the LP sounds best, the PRS sounds second best I think. But the Sire is killing it! Getting one for sure. Thanks for the details and riffs as stand alone works of art!

    Tres beaux comparatif. Je me suis abonné. Tu as un avis a propos de la Sire p90? Et la epiphone jerry cantrell wino? J'aimerai acheté la sire l7 , peut-être p90, parsqu'elle ne coute pas cher et que je pense que cest avec ca que je pourrais trouver un son type white stripes avec de la Fuzz, (solo de balls and biscuits par exemple)

    I love all your cover , you have always very powerful sound , and great felling and touch , we have a lot of taste in common, maybe of guy, on your musical culture, this is the first time I hear a cover of "leg diamond" I will haveis like to have a guitarist like you in France when I was putting together bands

    Wish I was there in France to join the band. 🎉 Maybe next life when we don't get to graduate this one. 😉 Legs Diamond (Starz, whatever), I wonder how many people have never heard that stuff. Always liked those guitar tones, tunes, and productions. Nothing has really caught my ear in the last bunches of decades.

    So the Sire pickup swap took that guitar to the next level! It can now hang with the big boys. I still prefer the Gibson Standard, but the Sire seems better than Epiphone models in its price range. The new Sire bridge pickup is more well rounded/ articulate, and not as muddy, brittle/harsh as the stock was. ***( I take all that back. I re listened to the 1st video, stock pickups and they are better. )*** Did you do any wirring/pot change out?

    @@coreyfoltz3672 That would really be the best comparison... you are a pretty smart guy. 🤓The Gibson would win, but I think the point is Sire is no slouch by any means. I originally got it because I wanted a LP with EMG's, or another one hanging around tuned down 1/2 step, but it's just great the way it is too. I might still do the EMG thing, but I despise changing pickups, so there's that too.

    @@preciseaudioblog To me, yes. They are kind of like decent PAF pickups. The Duncan Saturday Night set, to my ears, generally hot and pokey, and the way the highs is accentuated on the neck was weird too. They looked cool though. 🤘 I think I just like the sound of a lowish output PAF style pickup. Higher output pickups feel kind of frequency limited to me. I have some hotter pickups in other guitars too, and sometimes they work great for something, but in general, they aren't for me. Thanks.
